Re: [3dsmax] Many material variations on the same complex model in one scene.
Thanks, I will check it out. But it's not entirely clear to me if it is suited for easy material assignment for multiple versions. Also introducing an external plugin always has the problem of no future support. If it isn't recompiled for a new 3ds max version I could essentially not open/work with older scenes. I would… -
Re: learn animating : need help
-- my mistake, problem solved -- Edit: Maybe a dumb questions but I don't know it better. I've now animated it successfully like in your .gif but that's only the half of the walk cycle did I need to animate the rest by hand or is there something that I can mirror the left feet with the right and visa versa to get a full… -
Re: Is it possible to work part time in this industry realistically?
Personally, I'd stock up on the duct tape. Find a nice sturdy wall, tape the kid to it...baM! Problem solved. I would recommend taking the kid down before your wife gets home though. Oh, and feed and water the kid once during the day, and 30 minute outside time...on a leash, of course. -
Re: Instancing environment pieces with linked/additional objects.
Yeah. The game engine matters. If you're creating game assets, then you'll be assembling the buildings inside the game editor, not in Max. In Unity I would use Prefabs to solve this. But if you're rendering in Max, like maybe archviz, then you can get away with attaching pieces together. Because draw calls don't matter at… -
Re: I need a faster/better way to bake slection maps
If you are still running into the issue of different bakes from different programs not aligning correctly (especially xnormal compared to maya), try to compare the results of such bakes with and without a cage object. (the cage object being a simple inflated copy of the original low, done using "move components" along the… -
Re: UV scramble
Mark, thanks. I'm sure this will come in handy for anyone trying to solve the glitch. I was actually trying to purposefully recreate the glitch for the aesthetic effect. Farfarer- thanks! Here's one example of a test image following your advice. It's just what I wanted. The source image is from these… -
Re: Need Critique on the Topology
Just look at the Polycount Wiki, and see if your topology shares the same loops and problem solving with the provided examples. You're doing good, I think, reaching out to Polycount. Also, don't use photobucket. Too much clutter for just an image. Use IMGUR to get quick BBC codes to thumbnail images into the thread. -
Re: more 3D
I look forward to seeing how all these things will end up working together or being a part of the same world/story. As has been said before, screenshots would be nice. I know you're saying it's tough when you're only one person, @joker187, but a quick Googling should easily solve this problem for you. -
Re: I'm on a boat!
OK: I have a little dilemma: For the cabin I wanted to use a tileable texture, but this has one big problem: localisation is difficult. Otherwise, without tileable textures, I would use a lot of texture space. I could solve it with decals, but I don't know if that's the best solution. What do you guys think? -
Re: Walther p22 Based Pistol-Game Model *Need Advice*
This picture. I'm referring to those jaggy artifacts. I believe it has something to do with compression, I'm no expert. It's just I've had this problem before and it's solved by saving your normal map as .tga. It's not a huge issue for the sake of this thread. But if you were making a preview or saving it for a portfolio…
